Positive Outlook

  • Expecting consolidated net sales growth of mid-teens year over year for fiscal 2022.
  • Expecting Adjusted EBITDA growth of high-teens year over year for fiscal 2022.
  • AZEK expects to see leverage on Adjusted EBITDA exiting the second quarter of fiscal 2022
  • AZEK expects to see leverage on Adjusted EBITDA accelerating through the second half of fiscal 2022.
  • Expecting consolidated net sales to grow in the range of 18% to 21% year over year for the first quarter fiscal 2022.

Challenges Ahead

  • Guidance is inclusive of the startup costs associated with our capital investment programs.
  • Uncertainty regarding reconciling items such as the variability in the provision for income taxes
  • Uncertainty regarding the estimates for warranty and rebate accruals
  • Uncertainty regarding the timing of the gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.
  • Material changes to these reconciling items could have a significant effect on our Adjusted EBITDA guidance and future GAAP results.
